Our product stewardship activities include extensive investment in safety testing of our products, the development of improved packaging design, the development of new technologies with enhanced end-user or environmental safety and the provision of support services to promote responsible product use.

Product Stewardship Policy

Product Integrity and Testing: We test products adequately and effectively in accordance with sound scientific procedures and applicable regulatory requirements.

Product Authorization: We obtain product authorization for products in the country where the product is to be sold. We take a consistent approach to research and development of products regardless of where in the world this may be. Where a regulatory system is not in place, best international knowledge and accepted practices are used.

Products and/or Application Techniques: We make every reasonable effort to develop products with improved biological, toxicological, ecotoxicological and environmental profiles and support improvement of application technologies.

Training: We ensure that appropriate programmes are implemented in order to train, instruct and, as necessary, update our own staff and customers in all aspects of the responsible management of our products during their entire life-cycle from research to product discontinuation.

Production: Our production facilities are of a suitable standard, in all countries where product is manufactured. Where third parties manufacture on-behalf of Bayer, contractual agreements impose adequate stewardship requirements.

Brand Communications: We advertise and promote only products or product uses that have been registered or authorised in the country in which the product is sold and ensure that all brand communication claims are technically substantiated.
